Tournament Information:

Proposed Tournament

Match format:

Deck: COTG, RoTF, and SoS varying between rounds

Format: Best of 3

Timer: 3 Days

Match Tie-Breaker: In game (player with second turn)

Tournament Format:

Qualification Round: 4 matches in Swiss Tournament format (similar to previous tournament). Essentially, you will play a best of 3 match and then based on your results you will be paired the following round against someone with similar standings. Winners move to the top and losers fall to the bottom. A player will be awarded 3 points for winning a match and 0 for losing a match. There are no ties. There will also be no byes this tournament.

Round 1 Deck: CoTG

Round 2 Deck: SoS

Round 3 Deck: CoTG + RoTF

Round 4 Deck: SoS + RoTF

Playoff Round: Depending on the number of players signing up, the top 20-40% will qualify for a single elimination playoff with the same match format above (best of 3, etc, etc). I will ask for feedback on deck selection and decks for each playoff round will be determined.

What do people think? I'm overloaded today with work (around 11pm here and taking a break to post this) but will update OP and thread title tomorrow assuming everyone is ok with this.

Reporting a match
The match should be reported by the challenger (player on the left) after both matches have been played. To report a match, go to the report match page and choose the winner. Score is no longer necessary.

I am a little burnt out on the random matches - you guys who I've had ongoing rematches with, that's why I didn't renew the invites after our latest games. I am still up for the tournament but taking a break otherwise until probably the next expansion.

In under the wire, hopefully! Glad I didn't miss out! (I sometimes only check in here every few days, and haven't been online at all the last few nights, with the final Wheel of Time novel having just been released.)

Since I was the last one in, I'll volunteer to drop out if we don't get another sign-up. (I thought I was #24 in, but now I see that row 1 of the spreadsheet is a header row, and the player list starts on row 2.)

Sorry for all the invitation pending text below. That should fix itself shortly. Players on the left please send a 3 day CoTG deck challenge to your opponent. Please refer to the signup sheet below for gamecenter information.

Chollange has updated it's user interface since we last used it so please familiarize yourself with it. Scores no longer need to be reported. Simply choose the winner after your best of 3 match. Please do not choose a winner until someone has won two of the three games.

Since we have 24 people, the minimum amount of rounds is 5. Therefore, we need to decide on a round 5 deck. I'm open to a CoTG, RoTF, and SoS super deck but I fear some players may hate this. I'm open to suggestions.

Also, since we have 24 people, the top 50% (12) will qualify for the playoffs. The top 4 players will earn a round 1 bye in the playoffs.

And we're off! GC invite off to demonbox/farktopia. (I would get matched in the first round with the guy who just gifted me a Rayman Jungle Run code, so I'll have to feel all guilty if I win. )

Just to be sure I've got it straight: each round we play 2 or 3 games (enough to determine best of 3) with the current opponent, using the appropriate deck. It looks like there's no reporting of numeric scores this time, so challenging player just records who won the best-of-3 for the round?

Also, "no ties" means that we accept the game's handling of tied scores (i.e., second player wins)?

Seems pretty straightforward, but want to avoid any surprises later.

Yep, all games this round use the CoTG deck. Use the in-game tiebreaker in the event of a tie. First player to win two games wins the match which is reported by choosing the winner. No need for scores. Winner gets 3 points in the standings, loser gets 0.
